Field Marshal Fedor von Bock

Marga Siegroth, the future wife of Heinrich Himmler, in 1918.  They were, in some ways, an odd couple.  He was an organised, methodical Bavarian Roman Catholic; she was a somewhat flaky Berlin Lutheran.  Their main interests in common seem to have been racism in general; anti-semitism in particular; and agriculturalism.  This did not prove to be a sufficiant basis for a happy marital relationship in the long term.  Himmler's family never accepted Marga.  They thought that she was distinctly unstable and (in spite of her family's superior economic status) that Heinrich could have done better.  Funny, really - after all, she hitched herself to someone who turned out as one of Europe's leading mass murderers.  Who, pray, was unworthy of whom ?  Best regards, JR.
